Sarah’s discovered the existence of male clones (Ari Millens), a.k.a Project Castor, Rachel’s presumed dead and missing an eye, Alison has revealed everything to her husband Donnie, and Helena’s been taken by armed forces (infiltrated by Project Castor clones).

In an interview with our own Alicia Lutes, series co-creator John Fawcett remarked, “Everything changes in season three! Really changes… I think that you kinda do things for a little while and you’re like, ‘OK, now we’ve got to shake it all up again,’ you know?” And now, with the first full-length trailer for season three, we get a glimpse at just how crazy this expanded clone universe is going to be:

Phew, ok. Let’s break this down for a minute, Clone Club. Mrs. S comes clean to Sarah about trading Helena to Project Castor for still-unknown reasons (“a war-time decision”), and one of the male clones also tells Sarah to “count her sisters.” Now, that could be about Helena’s disappearance, or it could be a different sister entirely.

We also get a look at some of the presumed baddies this season: True Blood‘s most excellent James Frain (looking practically unrecognizable/great with tortoiseshell glasses and lighter-than-usual hair), another sinister looking doctor, and Delphine (Evelyne Brochu). Has Delphine officially joined the dark side? Is her loyalty directly correlated to her hair? Even Cosima knows she can’t really trust anyone, admitting, “We can’t rely on anyone but ourselves.”

We also get to see several of the male clones in action: one with blood red “x” scars over his eyes, a more lucid version being held captive, one with the Shaun from Boy Meets World haircut, an army clone, and a veeeery creepy looking fella with an extra creepy ‘stache. Not only was the reveal that Ari Millen would be playing all the male clones such a delicious surprise, he has already shown an impressive range that will hopefully match Tatiana Maslany‘s mind-boggling talent. From this trailer alone, we can sense the very distinct differences between the Project Castor clones. Millen demonstrates wild insanity, brooding aggression, and excessive sliminess, all in one minute.

There are mostly just snippets of Alison, Cosima, and Felix, who are likely tied up in other storylines the show is still keeping under wraps. There’s a quick shot of Rachel staring blankly ahead with her one good eye. Is she alive? In a coma? We suspect we’ll find out by the time the first episode is through. The last thing we see is that poor Helena’s been stuffed in yet another cage, this time a wooden box. The trailer ends on a high note though, with our beloved angry angel telling one of the male clones matter-of-factly, “One day, I kill you all.” We believe it.

All in all, it looks like all of the clones are going to be facing the ramifications of another set of clones in the mix. And like Rachel, these male clones are fully self-aware. What does that mean for the sestrahood? Are all the clones from Project Castor antagonists, or will the two sides find a way to help each other? So many questions, but at least we’re now only two-ish months away from more answers.

http://www.nerdist.com/2015/02/exclusive-funko-announces-orphan-black-pop-figures/#commentsMon, 02 Feb 2015 18:00:39 +0000http://www.nerdist.com/?p=223512Hold on to your hats, Clone Club, because we’re about to blow them right off. We’re excited to announce that Funko is releasing a brand-new, just out of the lab Orphan Black Pop! vinyl figure series! I don’t think there are enough exclamation points to do this release justice so we’ll let Alison speak for us:

The Orphan Black figures are all about the clones which means six different versions of Tatiana Maslany. Yes, it is a glorious thing. Here’s the full Pop! clone line-up: Sarah Manning, Alison Hendrix, Cosima Niehaus, Helena, Rachel Duncan, and Rachel Duncan with a pencil in her eye (pencil Rachel is a Hot Topic exclusive). I think obtaining all of these figures will be a fine way to start a Clone Club-devoted shelf on my bookcase. Sarah agrees.

Funko’s Orphan Black Pop! figures are 3.75 inches tall just like the rest of the Pop! series, and they’ll be out this month – as in soon! You’ll be able to purchase them exclusively at Hot Topic through May 2015, and they’ll be available in the company’s retail and online stores. Flip through the below gallery and start making your clone wish list.

Does your wish list just say “all of them?” We don’t blame you.

I can’t get over how adorable this series is. And just like on the television series, you can tell each figure has her own personality despite looking exactly alike. Maslany is just that good.

Don’t forget that season three of Orphan Black, produced by Temple Street Productions, premieres on April 18th on BBC America and Space.

Which Orphan Black Pop! figure will you be purchasing immediately? Let us know in the comments.

It’s been rumored that both Maslany, Rooney Mara, and recent Oscar nominee Felicity Jones were vying for the part, but The Mary Sue is reporting that Maslany has snagged the lead role. The Orphan Black actress also recently dropped out of a Broadway play due to scheduling conflicts, and our pals at The Mary Sue say their sources confirm the casting.

While we don’t know exactly what this spin-off is about yet, Disney CEO Bob Iger remarked in the latest Disney Shareholders report that “…next year we’ll release our first standalone movie based on [Star Wars: The Force Awaken‘s] characters, followed by Star Wars: Episode VIII in 2017, and we’ll finish this trilogy with Episode IX in 2019.” This might mean that Maslany’s character is somehow involved with the new folks –Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega), or Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) — buuut it could also mean she’s connected to the old favorites: Luke, Leia, and Han. INTRIGUE.

We’ll keep you updated as more news becomes available, but for now let’s just have a big Clone Club style dance party with our Orphan Blackplaylists. Maslany is one of the sharpest, most intriguing young actors out there right now and to see her take on more and interesting roles (and hopefully wield a light saber or another Star Wars-y weapon of some sort) is a gift of the highest order.

What type of character(s) would you like to see Maslany play in the first Star Wars spin-off? Let us know in the comments below, and stay up do date with all the latest reports from a galaxy far, far away on our very own Nerdist News!

http://www.nerdist.com/2015/01/major-details-on-project-castor-revealed-in-new-orphan-black-images/#commentsSat, 10 Jan 2015 21:45:55 +0000http://www.nerdist.com/?p=216206This here post? This is Spoiler City, population: ALL OF THEM, folks. So if you’re an Orphan Black fan that wants to stay blissfully unaware as to the upcoming doings in Season Three, go ahead and click out of this post tout de suite. Ain’t nobody got time for your bellyaching about being spoiled in the comments.

OK, so now that we’ve got that settled: let’s get down to business. Orphan Black returns on April 18th, 2015 — which means we’re finally starting to get some revealing details regarding Ari Millen’s male duplicates as they join the clone club’s insane sestrahood spirals into chaos. Ain’t Television Critic Association tour time grand?

And first up? It’s a brand spankin’ new photo of one of Millen’s men — the super-unhinged Rudy (whom we all met in the shocking reveal in the Season Two finale), with a very, well, intense facial make-up choice going on. Affectionately dubbed Scarface by the series’ creators, Rudy has already been set up as a lethal, brutal, and totally unhinged Castor clone “with a sleek mohawk and a menacing scar that adds to his intimidating exterior.” Now, we guess, we can add “dramatic scene-stealer” to his resumé (something tells us he and Helena would definitely get along).

(Psst — if you click it, the picture gets bigger!)

OK, so we have a lot of questions here. Is this an image from a flash-forward, a flash-backward, or does Marian Bowles actually let him out of his cage? Who’s he shooting at? And why? The questions, they mount!

According to the show, Rudy’s not one to be trusted all that much. “Just when the sisters thought they knew their enemies and allies,” the press release explained, “they’ll learn they’re more vulnerable than ever before.”

And we got a few more details on Millen’s clones Mark, Rudy, and Miller — the three iterations we saw of him at the end of Season Two — mostly thanks to the questions the explanations posit.

First up is Mark, the Prolethean clone who defected from his military upbringing, absconding with a pregnant (with Helena’s bebies) Gracie after the fall of the Henrick Johanssen’s ranch. Naturally one must ask: who really is Mark? Was he planted in the Proletheans? Does he really love Gracie? Who holds his true allegiance?

Then there’s Rudy, all brutally nuts with his facial scar and mohawk. Also raised under the strictest of military supervisions, he’s a manipulative master-fighter type, with a similar loyalty to his clone brethren as Sarah to hers. But can we trust him? And should we be scared? Does his love of his bro-clones (a phrase we just made up) put him at odds or in alliance with Sarah and the sestras?

Last of all was the just barely glimpsed Miller, a soldier through-and-through. Does he know Paul? What, exactly, is his deal? And how does he feel about being a clone?

See what we mean on the questions front? We just have so many (and we’ll hopefully get some of the answers in our interviews with the cast here at the TCA Winter Tour, so stay tuned).

What are your thoughts and theories when it comes to the bro-clones? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

http://www.nerdist.com/2014/12/the-war-is-on-in-new-orphan-black-trailer-and-its-coming-back-april-18-2015/#commentsThu, 18 Dec 2014 17:30:08 +0000http://www.nerdist.com/?p=211620It’s.about.to.go.down.

The war for autonomy and understanding has never been more fervent than it is right now — the silly ol’ DYAD was juuuust the beginning. It only scratched the surface of the machine that’s brought the beloved clones of BBC America’s Orphan Black into existence. The stakes are high and the clonespiracies even higher in the upcoming season of the BBC America series, and the sestrahood isn’t going to take it anymore. Not Sarah, not Cosima, not Allison, not Helena (GASP! What have they done to you?) — not even Project Leda, it seems. Clone Club: it’s time for the final countdown.

So start speculating and theorizing now, because there’s only 120 days (but who’s counting? Totally not us!) until the return of Orphan Black on April 18, 2015. Naturally, there are some spoiler-y bits here so if you’re not into knowing things in advance (or have yet to see the finale of season two), definitely turn away now lest ye be spoiled forever and forced to live with that knowledge for 4 months.

The four main clones — Cosima, Sarah, Allison, and Helena — are all featured prominently (no Rachel?) in the clip, discussing the upped ante that one would expect following that season finale. “This is a fight for knowledge; this is war; this is [something in Ukrainian, we’re assuming?],” the girls warn. Because those with power are — as Mrs. Hendrix so stated — do not give it up so easily (as evidenced by all the blood on Helena’s face. Nooo! Helena! What has the shadow-y government organization done to you? How are you bebies?!)

But the best part? How terrifyingly creepy and good Ari Millen looks as the newly introduced male clones. Oh, the humanity!

How excited are you for season three? Leave your super-abundance of feelings in the comments.

And we’ve got photographic evidence to prove it! Ready? Are you ready? Are you sure? WE’RE NOT SURE YOU’RE READY.

OK here it is:

Yes: that is the terrifying scarred clone we saw in Marian Bowles’ basement. His name is Rudy!

Brought to us all by the kind souls at Entertainment Weekly, the BBC America series (and co-creator Graeme Manson) have also provided a few insights for the forthcoming third season. And no, Ari Millen will not be doing a young Sean Astin impression.

“The boy’s name is Rudy,” explained Manson. “And obviously Rudy—or Scarface, as we call him in the writer’s room—is not Mark, who is the other Castor clone that we’ve known before. So immediately that poses a bunch of questions for us: How are they different? How are they the same, these brothers? And what the heck is Mark up to? Is Mark a traitor? Is Mark undercover? Like everyone else on Orphan Black, Mark has divided loyalties.”

But don’t you fret for a second — this is still a show about the sestras. Just with, y’know, a bit of added intrigue! “It’s fantastic that we’ve got this new diverse villain in the form of clones—villains or whatever they may turn out to be.” There’s a full-blown, very interesting interview over at EW‘s site so go and read it all there!

So, OK. Who else is losing their gourd over this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

http://www.nerdist.com/2014/11/the-clone-club-grows-orphan-black-adds-a-ton-of-new-cast-members-to-season-3/#commentsWed, 26 Nov 2014 03:00:59 +0000http://www.nerdist.com/?p=204463Welcome, sestras, one and all to the latest announcement regarding everyone’s favorite Clone Club — Orphan Black. The BBC America series is well underway on the production front for its 2015 installment (hurry up hurry up) and, of course, that means we’re starting to learn what new characters and curious adversaries and allies lay ahead in the third season storyline. Needless to say: there will be SPOILERS, sweeties.

Turns out? There’s going to be A LOT more moving parts to the third season, as the network not only confirmed Justin Chatwin’s involvement, but also announced a few other names — including the immensely talented and creepy-spooky (in a good way!) James Frain. He as well as several others will come into the fold throughout the season as we dive deeper into Projects Leda and Castor and find out just what in the heck the government and other agencies involved with bringing these human clones to life.

First up is the aforementioned Chatwin, whose character was finally revealed after the tweet above sent the Clone Club into speculation overdrive. He’s slated to play a fella named Jason Kellerman. Slated to be a recurring character throughout the season, Jason is a drug-dealer type “in the guise of a charismatic businessman” so we’re fairly certain he and Sarah are going to play serious ball this season. (Unless Allison’s REALLY gone off the rails this season. Which, you know, could happen.)

Frain hops on board from BBC America’s Intruders as Ferdinand, which is the perfect sort of name for a well-educated, “cleaner” type who’s the strong arm of that über-secret multi-national that’s in charge of the DYAD and a few others. No doubt questionable ethics and ruthless ways will dot that particular storyline. (Sidenote: he sounds like the perfect sort of partner for Rachel Duncan, doesn’t he?)

Also joining the cast is Lost Girl‘s Ksenia Solo as Shay, a “soulful and compassionate holistic healer with a great sense of humor destined to become a new friend to Cosima Niehaus” — which, uh oh, are Cophine ‘shippers going to lose their gourds/have to deal with a love triangle? — Kyra Harper as the ruthless “Dr. Coady, and advisor to the military with an agenda that even her superiors do not suspect,” and Earl Pastko as a fella named Bulldog, Ferdinand’s bodyguard who apparently doesn’t talk at all and does all of Ferdinand’s dirty work. Because, duh: a man named Ferdinand never gets his hands dirty, amirite?

Needless to say Bulldog is obviously going to be our favorite character because who doesn’t love a ridiculous henchman with a bizarre affliction?

So now all we need is for the series to hurry the eff up and just return to us already. (I MEAN JEEZ C’MON.)

Which new character sounds the most intriguing to you? We’re all sorts of interested in what Dr. Coady’s deal could be, but let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Others? Don’t even realize how similar they are until their true two peas in a pod-hood comes startlingly into the light. Weirdly, the former and the latter seem to be the case for every Clone Clubber’s favorite dysfunctional matriarch and patriarch, Donnie and Alison Hendrix. The Orphan Black duo are the definition of a messed-up love story and this latest video ode to their love is definitive proof of that.

I mean these two really ran the gamut with what they put each other through: spying for the DYAD, being a clone, keeping up a secret life to keep your clone wife (that you have no idea is a clone, WOOOOPS) none the wiser, drinking oneself into oblivion, the old porn stash bait and switch, and — of course! — the hot glue gun incident. Nothin’ says lovin’ like a bit of casual, at-home DIY torture tactics to find out what your husband/monitor knows about your very existence.

Thankfully, things changed for the Hendrixes after — spoiler alert? — the duo realized they were both really good at being accidental murderer types, killing those that they perceived to have been wronging them all along (R.I.P. Aynsley and Dr. Leekie). And I mean the couple that commits manslaughter together stays together, you know? How’s that for crazy science, Cosima, eh?

Naturally, where we left things off at the end of season two has us all the more excited to see our newly reunited power couple and how their reignited passion for one another plays out in season three. Will Donnie join the Clone Club? Fingers crossed.

What’s your favorite Donnie/Alison moment? Leave it for us in the comments (and bonus points for GIFs).

Oh am I alone here at Nerdist in that love? [Editor’s Note: Nope!]) out there in the world. And what a joyous day it is, indeed! Wednesday came and went with the quickness, ensuring that we’d all be able to watch the season premiere of American Horror Story: Freak Show. And oh what a premiere it was, wasn’t it? We wouldn’t expect anything less from that dementedly twisted Ryan Murphy mind, though.

In any event we’ve got some exciting, confounding, and truly exciting small screen news on the horizon. So let’s get right into it, shall we? OK!

Orphan Black is BACK: Oh sweet jay-sus and lord almighty: IT’S TIME TO REASSEMBLE, CLONE CLUB! Because guess what happened on Wednesday? That’s right — the first-ever read-through for season three of Orphan Black! YES. YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY AND NO MY CAPS LOCK KEY ISN’T BROKEN, IT’S JUST LOUD. The house that Tatiana Maslany built broke the news with a sweet little photo of our favorite sestrahood-incarnate and woops look at that we just piddled on the carpet a little bit in excitement (woops was that too weird? OH WELL). Feast YER EYES, folks! [Facebook]

Fun Fact: Tatiana Maslany is totally in that photo (hint: she’s playing a bottle of water. WHAT A METHOD MFer.

Curious about The Flash?: Before we get to the next tidbit, Joe McCabe reviewed the new CW series and you can read that right here right MEOW: [Nerdist]

How The Flash Beat S.H.I.E.L.D.: Oh snap, it’s ON, you guys. A war of ratings is officially a-brewing over in comic book TV adaptation land (a/k/a most of TV right now at the moment because Hollywood is nothing if not consistent in their attempts to grab at the zeitgeist?), because last night’s premiere of The Flash (on the CW) did better numbers than the on-a-major-network Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. over at ABC. OH SNAP, y’all! Oh snap! We’re happy DC Comics got one win over Marvel, though. They can’t really seem to do it anywhere else. [TVLine]

An Alternative Ending: With season five on the horizon, why not take a look at an ending of The Walking Dead‘s fourth season that would’ve been WAY WAY better, just sayin’. [Nerdist]

Bill Hader’s Back: Aww, you guys! One of the more gemtastic cast members to come out of Saturday Night Live as of late — in comparable Bill Hader — did some promos for his hosting gig on — we bet you’ll never guess — Saturday night. What a freaking cutie, right?

Well This is Awkward…: After five seasons, MTV’s popular series, Awkward, will be coming to an end. Somebody go cue up Vitamin C’s “Graduation (Friends Forever)” please? [TVLine]

Horror Story Clues: Ryan Murphy teased a ton of stuff in this interview, including the guarantee that a season five of American Horror Story is happening, and apparently some big-name superstar dude approached him to be on it. Oh! Also there are apparently some clues about next season IN THESE FIRST FEW EPISODES! Did anyone catch anything suspicious last night? [The Hollywood Reporter]

Retta, Queen of Everything: LOOK AT THIS FLAWLESS PERFECTION. Just look at it! [Oh No They Didn’t]

Neil Gaiman Wants to Hug Some Who Ladies: Only… there aren’t many female Doctor Who writerladies around! Which we cough cough totally noticed a while back and thought the series would do well to remedy! In our dreams Neil Gaiman totally read our story (pssstttttttttt it’s right here go click the thing!) and agreed with us. In fact, in our dreams Neil Gaiman is drafting a really delightful email and/or tweet to invite us to be his writing assistant for the next episode of the series he writes. We’d totally be open to it, Neil. I mean I know we’re just a silly American but STILL: give us a chance? We’re getting ahead of ourselves though, aren’t we? (But are we, Neil? ARE WE?!?!) [The Mary Sue]

Do you think Doctor Who should have more ladies writing episodes? Let us know your thoughts in the comments — we’re sure this won’t be divisive at all! Har har har oh jokes, so funny.

A Handy Infographic That Proves ORPHAN BLACK is the Best Show Everhttp://www.nerdist.com/2014/09/look-a-handy-infographic-that-proves-orphan-black-is-the-best-show-ever/

Since we had anything of particular interest for you on the Orphan Black front. Well, never fear because we’re here with something now (and — stay tuned — a bit more from our interview with Graeme Manson and John Fawcett in the coming weeks) because we care. And because we feel partially responsible to help spread the OB love.

Which is exactly what this infographic from Tumblr user PeetaIsMyHero created the little piece of fandom ephemera, made with the clear eyes (and full hearts? WHOA this is not a Friday Night Lights post) of a true obsessive of the series. From most and least viewed episodes to every time the clones got their impersonation game on, there’s tons of fun facts here for fans to laugh about.

But we don’t think this infographic should just be seen by fans alone: no! In fact, it’s actually a pretty great tool to show just how complex and totally awesome the series is — so why not use it as a fan recruitment tool, eh? Something tells us you’ll be glad you did.

Click on the image below to make it all big-like (otherwise you wouldn’t be able to read it, sillies! But if your eyes are just that good and you can read it sans clicking, whoa. You are clearly a superhero and/or villain of a sort. In the very least Cosima will want to talk crazy science with you):

So — Sarah’s favorite swear is shite; what do you think Allison’s is, eh? Let’s dissect in the comments.
